John McCain needs to crawl away in shame

McCain always got a pass to some degree because of his POW status and the way he refused "special treatment" because he was an Admiral's son. What he did back then was brave, admirable and outstanding.

But over the years, McCain has, a piece at a time, spit on the courage he showed and the respect he earned. And in backing Trump, he has shed his last bit of decency.

Trump took a crap on McCain and all other POWs. And now, McCain is in a tight race to hold onto his Senate seat, so he's gone all in with Trump.

Hey, McCain: One more stinking term in the Senate seat isn't worth publicly discarding your last shred of honor. Shame on you. I hope all POWs will now spit on you.

while there was still unrest on the ground.

Not only using it for political gain but when he did it.

Nope, he should never be allowed on TV again and his name should never be spoken again.

As far as I'm concerned, he's partly to blame for all the tea-party knuckle-dragging morans who are now in league with their new Palinesque/reality-TV hero, Trump.
